A word from Sally, the 'Richard Simmons' costume creator:

Two weeks before Halloween, I woke up in the middle of the night and said, "I've got it!" So I guess we could say the glory of my daughter's Richard Simmons costume this year came to me in a dream. Was it God? Probably so. The costume was that good. It cost me $3 total: the t-shirt (turned tanktop) and tennis shoes were hand-me-downs, the sweatband somehow ended up in my belongings back in college dorm living, the shorts were on sale at Walmart for $2, and the puff paint cost $1. The fro is 100% real, and the cuteness is overwhelming.
